Defiance | Coming to Syfy this April
Syfy has
secured the UK premiere of Defiance, the epic new fantasy sci-fi drama.
The series will make its UK debut on Tuesday, April 16th, 24 hours after
its US launch.

Defiance is an epic fantasy drama combining the
scope of a sci-fi blockbuster with the intimacy of a small-town drama.
Set in the near future, the series introduces an exotically transformed
planet Earth, permanently altered following the sudden – and tumultuous –
arrival of seven unique alien races. In this unknown and unpredictable
landscape, the newly formed civilization of humans and aliens must
learn to co-exist peacefully in a town called Defiance.

In an
unprecedented approach to storytelling, marking the first-ever
convergence of television and online gaming, the narrative premise of
the serieswill also be depicted in a brand new open-world game,
Defiance, developed in parallel by Trion Worlds. Viewers of the series
will follow the action of the immersive character drama set in the
boom-town of Defiance in St. Louis, Minnesota, and gamers will adventure
in the new frontier of the San Francisco Bay area.

Whilst the
series and the game feature an interconnected world and there are shared
points of reference, they are powerful and complete stand-alone
narratives and do not need to be experienced concurrently.

The series, produced by Universal Cable Productions, is executive
produced by Kevin Murphy (Desperate Housewives, Caprica; Hellcats) &
Michael Taylor (Battlestar Galactica). Kevin Murphy serves as
showrunner. Scott Stewart (Legion, Priest) directed the pilot; Michael
Nankin will serve as supervising producer/director on the series

given the “multi-platform appeal” of the series. The show’s first season

behind the US premiere.
